The Lock

[Denis]

Dont dabble in monochrome  very often, three from the walk yesterday...

Great set - particularly like the balance and feel of the first while the rest add layers of detail.

[Terry]

Superb set. The B&W works very well

That really works  for me Denis ... All three are nicely composed too ..,  really good set ...  Hope to see more from you Denis ... It's always good to  try  other stuff . I'm going to be well out of my comfort zone later this year   ... Taking photos of  racing cars  doing ridiculous speeds   ... I shall be needing a lot of advice I think ....

Colin and Leon spring to mind regarding that type of Photography. I would post more if I managed to have a bit more time, Work is long and retirement a painfully long three years away yet!

Thanks Denis ... I shall give Colin a shout as we have spoken on the phone and I have bought some cracking prints from him that are in the process of being framed (Lancasters and Spitfires )  Leon doesn't come on very often though does he ...  When you do retire then Denis ... at least you wont be one of those people who say  they wish they had a hobby  to fill in the time ...Most of us OAPS wonder where we ever found the time to work ....  It is surprising though just what shots you can get if you always take a camera out with you ... even to work .. By the way  do you have access to Photoshop  in any of its forms?  The more I look at the first  pic ... the more I like it ..  The tips Bill gave  are certainly paying off ... composition  is very nice indeed 

[Denis]

No, 'fraid not !

I have lightroom 5 that my son gifted to me for a birthday but not photoshop.

I really like number 1, Denis. Very nice indeed.

I didn't realise you were a mono dabbler.

I'm not usually Korky,

just thought i would give it a go, I do like looking at other peoples mono posts but didnt think mine would have the same....look !

[Korky]

You've done a great job there - you should do more. I always like to see mono pics on the forum.

Beware, though, B&W can get a bit addictive!

Well done with this Denis - I'm in the same boat - not really a mono poster, but I love to look at, and the look of mono shots we get on here. I would like to have a dabble too, but I find suitable subjects a bit hard to find. 

 

Love the first one, Denis
